Equipment

Ingredients

Lemon Herb Cream Cheese:

  • 70 g (2.5 oz) light cream cheese
  • 1.5 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp flat leaf parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp capers roughly chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Omelette:

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) smoked salmon sliced into 1cm strips
  • freshly ground black pepper to garnish

To serve (optional):

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients for the lemon herb cream cheese together in a small bowl and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Using a piece of kitchen roll, rub a large frying pan all over with the olive oil. Heat the frying pan on a high heat for 1 to 2 minutes and then pour in the beaten eggs. Move the pan in a circular motion to spread the eggs evenly over the surface.
  • After 30 seconds, place half the salmon strips down the centre of the omelette. Top with 4 tsp of the lemon herb cream cheese mixture.
  • Fold each side of the omelette over the filling (like an envelope). Cut the omelette in half and transfer each half to a plate. Top each omelette with the rest of the salmon strips and cream cheese mixture.
  • Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and serve with your choice of toasted bread.

Notes

  • Optional variations: 
    • Herb swap – change the parsley for dill, for a classic smoked salmon pairing. 
    • Hot smoked salmon – use flaked hot smoked salmon for a richer, meatier texture. 
    • Ricotta - swap the cream cheese for ricotta. 
    • Mediterranean – add spinach, feta and oregano alongside the salmon, 
    • Extra protein – add an extra egg white to the omelette, or serve with some cottage cheese on the side. 
    • Mini omelette wrap – turn it into a rolled omelette wrap for an on-the-go breakfast. 
  • This smoked salmon and lemon herb cream cheese omelette recipe is easily doubled if you’re cooking for 4 people.
